Basically, it will stick to any smooth surface. Think glass, whiteboards, metal, kitchen cabinets and stuff like that.

That means you can stick your phone to a cabinet or a microwave to read a recipe while you cook or you could stick your phone to a large computer monitor while you work.

This is one of those accessories that takes some imagination to figure out why you would need it in the first place. It seems like it would be really useful but finding a real-world scenario where that is the case is kind of hard to do.

That said — how well does it work?

The answer is that it works really well on some surfaces and really badly on others. When you stick it to a perfectly smooth surface like glass it’s almost like it’s glued in place. It’s a really strong bond — even with gravity working against it.

In testing though I got it to stick to some interesting surfaces including plastic, wood and vinyl which was pretty cool.

When you’re holding the case in your hand, it’s kind of sticky. The back feels a little bit like its coated with Scotch tape that lost most of it’s stickiness. You can definitely get used to it, but it’s kind of distracting and definitely noticeable. The packaging material recommends cleaning off the case about once per week.
